Therefore, it can be speculated that even if Xie Rong has nothing to do with the Cao Gang, he at least knows who this person is and knows that he colluded with the Cao Gang.

According to Qian Zhuang, the young envoy who represented the general rudder privately increased the commission for hiring ships when he was in charge of the wharf affairs, and it was not sealed, which was obviously to use the shipping business to enrich his own pockets.

In the long run, it will inevitably stifle the enthusiasm of some small businesses and affect the development and stability of the underlying economy. At the same time, even if some merchants can afford the extra two hundred taels of silver, it will inevitably arouse their disgust, and they will have disputes with the Cao Gang, or hate the imperial court.

If Xie Wan is the head of the cabinet, he will inevitably grab this tail and drag out the big rat inside!

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "They will collect money, I want to see if the court is strong in law and discipline or their hands!" She stood up and said to Luo Ju: "You go to Cangzhou with Qian Zhuang tomorrow and hire the boat with them, but no matter what method you use, you must find a way to get the note made by the young envoy and his handprint." ”

Luo Ju and Qian Zhuang looked at each other and nodded in response.

Huo Jue waited for them to leave, looked at Xie Wan and said, "There must be a big problem with Cao Yun, maybe you can really find something along this matter." ”

Xie Wan looked at him, "This is a very obvious thing. Who gave them the guts to charge so much money? Who would have the audacity to partner with them for profit? Also, this amount of money is by no means a small amount. Are they full, or are they somewhere else? Behind this is a big hamster, there is such a big circle in the court, there is always a bit of a pulling relationship, and it is not necessarily what to touch. ”

At night, in the dark alleys outside the street, the snow had not yet melted, and there were five or six men in black standing in the snow.

"Your lord, the lowly officials have already checked, Xie Rong's side is not easy to start, this person has almost no handle to make a fuss. It's also very cautious in private.。 is neither greedy for ink, nor does he raise concubines privately, and he is also very cautious as an official, even dealing with Ji Zhenyuan is something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows. The lowly ones really don't know where to start. Please forgive your sins. ”

"Don't know where to start?" Huo Jue paced in the snow with his hands in his hands. He nodded with a deep groan, "Got it." ”

The guard at the head looked at him, and suddenly said, "But the little one has another thing." is this Xie Rong attaches great importance to his family, and his daughter is seventeen years old and has not yet been married. So the little one took the opportunity to use some small means, which made her even yellow a lot of kisses. ”

It should be a terrible thing for a person to have a daughter who can't get married.

Huo Jue narrowed his eyes, looked at the anxious guard for a long time, and said, "This method has been done. ”

The guard's back stiffened.

"However, if you do it, you will do it, and you will not take it as an example."

Huo Jue still didn't have any gloom on his face, but said: "A person who does things without leakage, his heart must be extremely defensive." Frontal attacks often have little effect, so they have to work both ways, starting from his weakest point and gradually disintegrating his heart, and then attacking him head-on from the front. As long as a person's heart is disturbed, he will slowly and naturally become chaotic.

"There are many other ways to start with his daughter. Bullying a girl's family is not a good job. ”

The guard felt sweat come out of his forehead. "I won't dare to do it next time."

"Let's go down." Huo Jue said.

Huo Jue and these people came and went like ghosts on the streets of Qinghe, not to mention that Xie Wan didn't know, even Xing Zhu didn't notice it.

When Xie Wan was discussing with Yuxue what silk to use to make new clothes, Luo Ju and Qian Zhuang came back with the handprint of the green envoy and the handwritten note.

At first, he refused to write, and he looked reluctant to deal with it. Fortunately, Brother Luo has dealt with people a lot over the years, and he has already practiced a set of rules for life, and a few words will make this Mu Gui's mood better, and then we will invite him to the city to eat and drink, and then coax him to write on the grounds that it is not easy to explain to the owner without this note. The girl will see if this is all right. ”

Qian Zhuang handed the note in his hand to Xie Wan.

Xie Wan took a closer look, nodded and praised: "Very good!" With that, we're ready to go! ”

When Qian Zhuang Luo Ju heard this, he was also relieved.

And Xie Wan summoned Luo Ju to take care of the matters of entering Beijing.

I have to stay for a long time, many things must be brought, and the affairs on this side of Qinghe must also be taken care of. As for the residence of Jingshi, there is no need to bother much, Luo Ju has already cleaned up the yard behind the rice shop in Qianmen Hutong.

This rice shop is the head office of the thirteen rice villages in Beijing, occupying one-third of the length of the entire alley, last year Luo Ju asked Xie Wan for instructions, let the courtyard wall behind the shop open the moon gate, forming a narrow courtyard. Although it is not as quiet and comfortable as a serious house, it is already good as a foothold.

Xie Wan lived in the easternmost equivalent to the inner courtyard, and the accompanying Yuxue Xiugu and Xing Zhu Gu Xing were all here. Huo Jue and Qian Zhuang lived in the courtyard on the second floor outside the door, and Luo Ju had lived in Beijing for a long time, so naturally he had his own room inside, so he didn't have to worry about him.

The shopkeepers in the thirteen shops heard that Xie Wan had arrived in Beijing, and they all rushed over to pay their respects. Everyone knows that the big proprietor is an underserved girl, but after working in the shop for so long, he also knows that this proprietor girl should not be underestimated, so they are all very respectful and respond positively to her questions.

Xie Wan was also very happy to see that they were all quick to react and think clearly, and then looked at the account books of various shops in the past year. Let Yuxue reward the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let Luo Ju book a private room in a nearby restaurant, and let Luo Ju entertain them on behalf of them. He stayed in the backyard of the shop and asked the guy to send the sticker to the Jin Mansion.

Soon, the man brought in a kind-looking steward and said, "Lord Jin has sent Steward Li from the mansion here." ”

Then, the man in charge stepped forward to greet him: "Little Li Chen." On the orders of my lord, I respectfully invite the girl to enter the house. ”

When Xie Wan heard this, he hurriedly asked people to go down to entertain him. Then he went into the house to change his clothes and make up.

Soon arrived at the Jin Mansion, the gatekeeper opened the door, and all the way to the second gate.

Jin Yong's wife, He Shi, and her daughter Jin Ting stood under the weeping flower gate, and when they saw that the carriage had stopped, they had already greeted it with a slight smile.

"I haven't seen you for three or four years, and I'm really unrecognizable."

Jin Ting stepped forward to call Sister Wan, who was still as well-behaved as she was back then, but her appearance became more handsome.

Xie Wan smiled and held them. said: "My cousin is also getting younger and younger. I wanted to come and see it for a long time, but unfortunately my brother has been busy with his studies, and he didn't worry about me coming out alone. As she spoke, she walked all the way to the inner courtyard, and Yuxue had already asked the guy who was driving the car to unload the gifts from the car.

Jin Yong waited under the corridor of the main hall. He also has a kind smile on his face.

Come over this time. The attitude of the Jin family is a little closer. This is what Xie Wan imagined the two families should have. She doesn't blame Jin Yong. If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, even if he has deviated from Aunt Jin's wishes. It's not unforgivable. There is no one in the world who is closer in blood than father and son, but they are not necessarily so affectionate and loving to each other.

Now although Xie Rong is rising at an alarming rate, and he was even alienated by him because of his recommendation of Zhao Zhen, but now he has also become the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although there is no evidence to prove that his promotion was due to the recommendation of Zhao Zhen, but he was in the six departments of the imperial court with the right to admonish and question the edict, and their words were very easy to enter the ears of the cabinet and the emperor, and Zhao Zhen was indeed transferred to the household department because of his great use in this area, so it is impossible to say that his promotion did not benefit from it at all.

She only persuaded Jin Yong this time, so that he could get this benefit, and Xie Rong would quickly climb above him in the future, and she was also right, if he treated her with his original attitude, it would be too abnormal.

Xie Wan knew it, so she accepted the kindness and hospitality of the Jin family safely, and when she finished eating tea in the flower hall after dinner, she said with a smile: "I have heard that my cousin likes to read very much, and I want to visit my cousin's study, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Jin Yong glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why not?" Then he got up and led her to the study.

When he arrived at the study, when the people served tea, Xie Wan paced to the bookshelf and browsed through the rows. Then he took out a copy of "The Art of War" from the shelf and said, "Uncle Cousin actually likes to read the Art of War? ”

Jin Yongdao: "Where there are people, there is war, and in officialdom, sometimes it is inevitable to learn some self-defense skills." ”

Xie Wan said with a smile: "In this way, in my cousin's opinion, the court is also like a battlefield." ”

Jin Yong brushed his beard and said, "Isn't it? ”

Xie Wan nodded, "What Uncle Cousin said is very true. At this point, there is naturally no need to beat around the bush, she said: "Uncle Cousin, as a close minister of the imperial front, I don't know what to think of Cao Yun?" ”

"Caoyun?" Jin Yong was a little surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said: "At the beginning of the dynasty, I attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry economy, and Caoyun is the main road related to the economy of the north and the south, so it naturally has a pivotal position. Don't know what you're trying to talk about? ”

Xie Wan said: "I mean the Cao Gang. She paused and continued: "Don't hide it from my cousin, Jufu Rice Village in Beijing is my niece's property, and I have been transporting grain to the north for the past two years, but recently someone in the Cao Gang suddenly increased the silver received from the merchants at the Cangzhou wharf, disrupting the market and causing the merchants to complain. ”

"Privately increase the employment of silver?" Jin Yong frowned, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Xie Wan then took out the handprint of the Qing envoy Mu Gui from his sleeve and said: "This is the evidence that they accepted money from merchants in violation of regulations, and the handprint of the Qing envoy of the Cao Gang was pressed on it. The original intention of the reopening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was to develop the people's livelihood and economy and make the north and the south connected. ”

She pushed the note to Jin Yong. (To be continued.) )
